You're the bomb!!! (and fun date night ideas)



"You're the bomb!"

This is how John says goodbye to most people. This is completely symbolic of his personality. He is the most nonjudgemental, funny, carefree, weird, laid back, hard-working, gross, amazing, insightful man I know. 

Damn........I just love ya honey!

Recently we've started dating a little more regularly (thank the lord). And since "dinner and a movie" does not foster nor nurture the strong relationship & bond I want....a little research 'twas in order.

I found a great list on this blog and wanted to record it for all time - with a few of my notes. Not all these ideas are my thing but who knows!

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”  -Dr. Seuss
